...still have not rebooted my writing brain. This is getting ridiculous. This morning, I looked at the notes the Hubby made for the ghost ship story and I'm just... bleh. I know how to fix it, but fixing it is going to require a good two thousand more words and I'm kind of tired of writing fiction that's not marketable because it's too damn long. It's already at 5500 words and I don't see how I justify another two thousand for a story like this unless I can turn it into some kind of commentary on the human condition instead of a rather silly and fun ghost story.

In other news, we saw "Madagascar 3" the other day and enjoyed it thoroughly. Anyone who's seen the Cirque du Soleil will recognize the set-pieces, which are visually gorgeous. Now I want to go to Vegas and see another show. The Hubby and the Boy have never seen it, and they need to.

Today, we're going to see "Brave." Which looks awesome. Pixar has yet to disappoint. And, I don't care what anyone says, I also need "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter" in my life and will go see it next week when Hubby and Boy are at Scout Camp, because it's rated R and thus inappropriate for Boy, and Hubby doesn't want to see it. Horror's just not his genre. I may inflict "Cabin in the Woods" on him when I get it on DVD, because I thought it was brilliant.

How about: Write Ghost Ship the length it needs to be, start saving quarters in a jar, and by the time both of us have exhausted the markets for our odd-length stories, we'll have enough saved up between us to go in together and self-publish an anthology. :)

My friend who is a scriptwriter hated Brave. He said it would give his four year old daughter nightmares. Why is he taking a four year old to see this movie? She's scared of everything because her older brothers torment her. Argh. I'm still gonna see it. I don't care. Give us your thoughts afterward
